Study of medieval head gear

I haven't been posting for a long while. A lot of stuff is waiting to be uncovered by NDA's and time is needed to prepare it for presentation. So here is an oldie from 2014 with an actual process photo I rediscovered recently. It is hard to call this a portrait due to the model's face obscured by metal frame work. The gear is a replica of Novgorod mercenary armor set of 14th century. The framework over his face turned out to be a non historical detail as this fellow is actively taking part in reenactments of battles using real melee weaponry with dull edges (sounds crazy to me).
